Resolving Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Trichophyton mentagrophytes Complex: A RADseq Genomic Approach Challenges Status of ‘Terbinafine‐Resistant’ Trichophyton indotineae as Distinct Species

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex encompasses common dermatophytes causing superficial mycoses in humans and animals. The taxonomy of the complex is unstable, with conflicting views on the species status of some taxa, particularly T. indotineae and T. interdigitale. Due to the presence of intermediate genotypes, neither MALDI-TOF MS nor ITS rDNA sequencing can accurately distinguish all taxa in...
